Specific Request:
LAT Instrument and subsystems should be procuring fasteners in accordance with GSFC
Fastener Integrity Requirements, 541-PG-8072.1.2.
Supporting Rational:
This document defines fastener integrity requirements for all fasteners used in flight hardware
and for critical nuts and bolts used on GSE, including all flight hardware/GSE interfaces.
Response:
The GLAST LAT Mission Assurance Requirements document (433-MAR-0001) specifies that
fasteners be procured and tested in accordance with 541-PG-8072.1.2. SLAC is complying with
this requirement and is procuring fasteners according to the current version of the GSFC Fastener
Integrity Requirements. The LAT Mechanical Parts Plan (LAT-SS-00107) incorrectly refers to
a previous version of the GSFC specification (GSFC-S-313-100-B). This document will be
updated to reference the correct version of the document.
